Tips for creating Secure Passwords.
Published on

In the digital age, passwords are the most important part of your online security. But, many people put their security at risk by using the same password for multiple accounts. This habit greatly increases the risk of hacking. Let us know what five important things should be kept in mind while setting a password.

 Key Highlights:

  1. Use a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.

  2. Longer passwords (12-15 characters) are more secure.

  3. Use unique passwords for each account.

  4. Employ a password manager to securely store all your passwords.

Make your password strong

The stronger your password, the more security you will get. A strong password should have a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special symbols (#, @ etc.). This ensures that the password is difficult to crack. Avoid using personal information like names, birth dates or locations in your passwords. 

Long passwords are more secure

Long passwords are more secure. Try to make your password at least 12 to 15 characters long. Long passwords are harder to guess and increase your security. Although remembering a long password can be challenging, it is necessary for security.

Avoid common names and personal information

Many people use names, birth dates or locations in their passwords, but this is a dangerous practice. Such passwords can be easily guessed. Avoid using your name, birth date or other personal information and make the password more unpredictable.
